Casablanca Valley winery restaurants: where to eat, taste and book lunch

2. Casa Mirador at Casas del Bosque: best for a special occasion

Best for: a premium wine-paired lunch, celebrations, vineyard views.

Casas del Bosque’s second dining room is quite different from Tanino. Casa Mirador serves a long tasting menu in which the food and wine come as one sequence. Its hilltop site looks across the valley, and the winery describes it as a quiet place to feel the breeze coming in from the Pacific. Book it when lunch is the main event of your day.

What does the experience include?

The winery’s Casa Mirador reservation page describes a nine-course menu served on Saturdays and Sundays at lunch, lasting 3.5 to 5 hours, for guests aged 18 and over. Each course comes with a selected wine, including the estate’s main varieties and its La Trampa label. The winery’s wine tourism page prices the Casa Mirador tour with the nine-course lunch at CLP 165,000 per person, and the reservation page asks for a CLP 45,000 deposit per person to confirm (both checked October 2026). One of the winery’s English restaurant pages still describes a seven-course menu, so confirm the number of courses for your date.

It suits you if you enjoy tasting menus, want to try premium bottles or are celebrating.

Is Casa Mirador worth choosing over Tanino?

That depends on the meal you want. Choose Tanino for a flexible restaurant lunch, especially if your group wants to order different dishes. Choose Casa Mirador for a structured, more intimate meal with the wine at its center, and set aside most of the afternoon.

Opening and reservations

Casa Mirador opens for weekend lunches, and you must reserve ahead; the English restaurant page asks for at least 48 hours’ notice, and individual dates can fill earlier. The winery also hosts private events there during the week.

Before you book, confirm the number of courses, the total price, the wines included, dietary options and how long the meal runs.

Best choice for: anniversary lunches, couples, premium wine experiences and visitors who would rather have one destination meal than several rushed winery stops. Official information: Casas del Bosque restaurants.

3. Macerado Bistró at Casa Viñamar: best for sparkling wine and a relaxed lunch

Best for: sparkling wine, casual bistro food, couples and friends.

Not every good vineyard meal needs a tasting menu. At Casa Viñamar, Macerado Bistró serves regional food in a relaxed setting, at an estate known for sparkling wine. That makes Viñamar a good stop if you want something different from the valley’s usual still whites.

What makes Casa Viñamar different?

The estate has a distinctive Moroccan-style building and its visits are all about the sparkling wines. Viñamar runs tours that explain how its sparkling wine is made, guided tastings and seasonal extras such as picnics and themed tastings. The winery presents Macerado as a celebration of local ingredients and the food of Casablanca Valley.

What food should you expect?

Macerado describes its cooking as rooted in local produce and regional traditions. The menu changes, so choose from the current seasonal dishes and match them with the sparkling wines on offer. Ask the staff about seafood, lighter starters, fresh vegetables and richer dishes, which all suit sparkling wine’s acidity. Part of the fun is tasting how different sparkling styles work across a whole meal.

Can you visit for lunch without a tour?

Yes. The restaurant takes direct reservations, and Casa Viñamar sells its winery visits separately, so you can combine both. On a first visit, book a sparkling-wine tasting before lunch and leave time for the shop.

Two tours on this site include Viñamar: the 4 Vineyards day includes a tasting there, and the Private Casablanca Valley Wine Tour: Bodegas RE and Emiliana offers lunch at Viñamar for about USD 70 per person, paid at the restaurant, from $275 per person with 4.8 from 16 Viator reviews.

Practical details

Casa Viñamar is on an internal road off Ruta 68 at about km 72, Casablanca. The winery lists these Macerado contacts:

• Phone: +56 9 7831 4823.
• Email: vinamar@macerado.cl.

Viñamar lists seasonal opening hours for its visitor center, but restaurant service can differ, so confirm it separately. Ask for the current menu and check that the sparkling-wine tasting you want runs that day.

Best choice for: couples, groups of friends, sparkling-wine fans and anyone who prefers a less formal lunch. Official information: Macerado Bistró at Casa Viñamar.

4. Kingston Family Vineyards: best for a private wine-paired lunch

Best for: a five-course lunch, private visits, wine enthusiasts.

If you want the food and the wine to get equal attention, Kingston Family Vineyards serves one of the most memorable lunches in the valley. It is not a restaurant where you walk in and order à la carte. Kingston arranges private tastings and meals in a modern tasting salon above its vineyards, and the meal is cooked around its wines.

What does the wine-paired lunch include?

Kingston’s Premium Wine-Paired Lunch includes:

• A seasonal five-course menu.
• Wines paired with each dish.
• Locally sourced ingredients.
• Vegetarian and vegan menus.
• A welcome glass of wine.
• An optional winery visit, if arranged.

Allow at least two hours, and longer if you want an unhurried visit.

What wines will you taste?

Kingston is known for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and it also makes Syrah and other wines, so the pairings can move across several styles. It is a good place to taste how an elegant red works with food. Our Chilean wine guide explains the grapes you will taste.

How much does a Kingston wine-paired lunch cost?

US$115 per person, plus VAT, for the five-course lunch on Kingston’s visit page, checked October 2026. Chilean VAT is 19%, and a tip is on top. Kingston recommends booking ahead because the experiences are private; ask about the deposit and cancellation terms when you reserve, and confirm the final total.

Is there a cheaper option?

Yes. Kingston also runs guided tastings with cheese, fruit or artisanal bites: Casablanca Essentials at US$55 plus VAT, and the Premium Pinot Noir and Chardonnay tasting at US$75 plus VAT. None of these is a full lunch.

What to know before booking

Book Kingston’s lunch as a planned reservation. Confirm the date, menu, dietary needs, number of courses, deposit terms and wines before you pay. No tour on this site stops at Kingston, so go with your own driver or a private tour you arrange with the winery’s timing.

Best choice for: wine enthusiasts, couples celebrating, small private groups and travelers who want a carefully planned food-and-wine meal. Official booking: Kingston Family Vineyards experiences.

5. Botánico at Casas del Bosque: best for garden-to-table Italian-inspired cooking

Best for: fresh pasta, seasonal vegetables, relaxed weekend lunches.

If Tanino is the classic vineyard restaurant and Casa Mirador the special-occasion one, Botánico gives you a third reason to visit Casas del Bosque. It cooks with vegetables, herbs, flowers and seasonal produce from the estate’s organic garden, with a strong Italian influence: antipasti, pizza, handmade pasta and a few well-chosen meats and fish. The winery pairs the food with its Botanic Series wines.

Why choose Botánico?

Choose it if you enjoy vegetable-forward cooking or would rather share antipasti and pasta than sit through a formal tasting menu. The link between the garden and the plate is central to the place, and it gives you another way to taste the estate’s wines.

Practical details

The winery lists:

• Lunch Thursday to Sunday, noon to 4:30 p.m.
• Reservations at least 24 hours in advance.
• Phone: +56 9 6669 6529.
• Email: reservas@casasdelbosque.cl.

The menu changes with the seasons, so specific dishes are not guaranteed. The Casas del Bosque guide compares its three restaurants side by side.

Best choice for: couples, groups of friends, garden-to-table food lovers and anyone after Italian-style food in a vineyard. Official information: Botánico restaurant information.

6. Bodegas RE: best for a vineyard picnic and something different

Best for: wine and cheese boards, picnics, experimental winemaking.

Bodegas RE is one of the valley’s most distinctive wineries because of how it makes wine. Besides familiar international grapes, it works with unusual blends, traditional techniques and fermentation in clay vessels. The food here is closer to wine accompaniments, outdoor picnics and arranged group meals than to a regular restaurant.

What food experiences are available?

Enoturismo Chile, the national wine-tourism directory, lists Bodegas RE for:

• Wine tastings with food.
• Vineyard picnics, including a Picnic RE experience in the courtyard under the cork oak.
• Lunches for groups.
• Winery tours and special experiences.

A local visitor guide describes tastings that pair the wines with bread, cheese, dried fruit, olives, olive oil and a balsamic made from wine. The private Bodegas RE and Emiliana tour includes a four-wine tasting at RE with a board of bread, olives, cheese, RE olive oil and wine balm.

Why include Bodegas RE in a food-and-wine day?

Not every winery stop needs a full lunch. Bodegas RE is a good stop for tasting unconventional Chilean wines with local food and learning how the winery works. Follow a morning here with lunch at Casas del Bosque. The private Casas del Bosque and RE Wineries tour includes tastings at both, from $240 per person with 4.7 from 42 Viator reviews; lunch is not included. Our Bodegas RE tours page compares the rest, and our Bodegas RE winery guide covers the visit itself.

How much does it cost?

Bodegas RE publishes its prices on its wine-tourism page (checked October 2026). Cellar tastings start at CLP 24,000 for two wines with a pairing board, and the full tours at CLP 35,000 for three wines. The Pairing RE meal costs CLP 95,000 per person, Monday to Friday with 48 hours’ notice, and the Picnic RE costs CLP 60,000 for two people from September to April, with 24 hours’ notice and wine not included. Confirm availability with the winery before you pay.

Do not mistake a picnic or a wine-and-cheese tasting for a full meal. Check how much food comes with it, where you sit and whether the picnic runs in your travel season.

Best choice for: curious wine drinkers, couples interested in unusual wines and anyone planning a two-winery day. Official information: Bodegas RE experiences and reservations.

7. Restaurant Equilibrio at Matetic: best nearby alternative for a longer wine-country day

Best for: longer winery trips, a restaurant lunch, overnight stays.

One geographical detail first: Matetic Vineyards is not in Casablanca Valley. It is in the neighboring San Antonio wine region, and it makes a good addition to a broader wine-country trip. Matetic combines winemaking, rooms at La Casona, outdoor activities and Restaurant Equilibrio, so it suits you if you want more than a quick tasting.

What makes Matetic appealing?

The estate is known for cool-climate wines and sustainable farming, and Restaurant Equilibrio adds a proper meal to the visit. Matetic’s website lists the restaurant alongside its winery tours and the La Casona hotel.

Should you combine Matetic with Casablanca wineries?

You can, but treat it as a longer trip. With only one day from Santiago, a winery lunch in Casablanca itself saves time. Matetic makes more sense if you are staying overnight, traveling with your own driver or want to see more of the San Antonio region.

Reservations

Matetic lists:

• Restaurant phone: +56 9 8920 2066.
• Reservations email: reservas@mateticwg.com.

Confirm the current menu, hours and prices directly.

Best choice for: travelers planning a longer wine-country trip, couples who want to sleep among the vineyards and anyone exploring San Antonio as well as Casablanca.

What about Viña Indómita?

Viña Indómita’s hillside winery has wide views, and its tourism pages advertise a restaurant. Its online-store FAQ, however, says the winery tours and the restaurant are temporarily closed while the shop and some tastings carry on. With the official pages disagreeing, do not plan lunch around Indómita until the restaurant confirms it has reopened. The views are a reason to ask; they are not proof that lunch is being served.

Where the winery restaurants are

The wineries are spread along rural roads, not around a walkable town center. Casas del Bosque has three restaurants on one property. Casa Viñamar sits close to Ruta 68 at about km 72. Matetic is farther away in the neighboring San Antonio region, and Indómita needs confirming before you plan a meal there. Our guide on how to get to Casablanca Valley from Santiago covers driving times.

Which vineyard restaurant should you choose?

For a straightforward lunch, the main choices are Tanino, Macerado and Kingston, and each suits a different visitor.

On a first visit, I would choose Tanino for ease and range. Choose Kingston instead if the point of your day is a carefully planned food-and-wine meal and you do not mind the higher price.

How much does a winery lunch in Casablanca Valley cost?

Prices vary with whether you order from a menu, book a fixed meal or choose a premium pairing. The price of lunch is also only one part of the cost of a guided winery day.

Published experience prices

Kingston’s rates come from its visitor page and Casa Mirador’s from the Casas del Bosque wine tourism page, both checked October 2026. The Tanino and Viñamar figures are quoted in a private tour listing on this site. Menus and package terms change.

Is lunch included in a Casablanca Valley wine tour?

Not always. Some tours include a restaurant stop but leave you to pay for the food. Others include a fixed lunch in the price, and some sell food-and-wine pairings as an extra.

For example, the two shared full days on this site visit Emiliana and Bodegas RE and stop at Tanino, but the meal is not included just because Tanino is on the itinerary. Our Casablanca wine tours with lunch page sorts the tours by whether lunch is in the price.

Before you book, look for three separate inclusions: transport, winery tastings and lunch, and make sure each one is spelled out.

Three ways to plan a Casablanca Valley wine-and-lunch day

Itinerary 1: The classic Casablanca winery lunch

Best for first-time visitors from Santiago. Full day.

This is a sample plan, not a bookable schedule; timing depends on availability, traffic and your table. It keeps the day simple: one unusual winery, then a long lunch at one of Casablanca’s best-known estates.

Itinerary 2: Sparkling wine and a relaxed bistro lunch

Best for couples and friends. About half a day from the coast.

Start at Casa Viñamar with a sparkling-wine tasting, then have lunch at Macerado Bistró. With the tasting and the restaurant on one estate, you spend the day eating and drinking, not driving between vineyards. This works well from Valparaíso or Viña del Mar, especially if wine is only one part of your holiday; see our Casablanca and Valparaíso wine tours for tours from the coast.

Itinerary 3: Premium wine and food at Kingston

Best for special occasions. A half day or a slow full day.

Book Kingston’s five-course paired lunch and leave plenty of time for the meal and the optional winery visit. Make it the main event instead of trying to fit in three or four vineyards. It suits you if you want to understand how each wine works with each dish.

For a private day with flexible stops, the Private Casablanca Tour: Emiliana, William Cole & Casa del Bosque includes tastings at Emiliana and William Cole and a lunch stop at Casas del Bosque (the meal is paid separately), from $150 per person with 4.9 from 118 Viator reviews. The private Emiliana, Bodega RE and Casas del Bosque tour adds a third tasting, from $329 with 4.5 from only 8 reviews. Our private Casablanca Valley wine tours page compares them all.

What food should you try with Casablanca Valley wines?

Casablanca suits food and wine because its best-known grapes are so versatile at the table. Coastal Sauvignon Blanc is excellent with seafood, Chardonnay works with delicate and richer dishes, and Pinot Noir is gentle enough for food that would clash with a more tannic red.

Six pairings to look for

These are pairing ideas, not dishes promised on any winery’s menu. The Chilean wine guide has more pairings, grape by grape.

What makes Chilean vineyard food different?

There is no single Casablanca Valley food tradition, but the valley sits between Chile’s coast and its central farmland. Pacific seafood, seasonal vegetables, artisan cheese, olive oil and traditional Chilean dishes all turn up on winery menus. Some restaurants stick to Chilean ingredients, while others add international influences, especially Mediterranean. The best pairing is not always the most elaborate: a plate of fresh seafood and a well-chilled Sauvignon Blanc can say a lot about this part of Chile.

Practical tips before booking a winery restaurant

Book lunch separately from your wine tasting

A winery booking does not always come with a restaurant table. Confirm both, ideally with enough time between them.

Allow at least 90 minutes for a relaxed lunch

A simple bistro meal can be shorter, but a full restaurant lunch should not feel rushed. For a premium multi-course pairing, allow two to three hours unless the venue says otherwise; Casa Mirador runs 3.5 to 5 hours.

Ask about dietary requirements

Several winery restaurants cook with seasonal vegetables, but that does not mean every tasting menu is vegetarian or vegan. Kingston offers vegetarian and vegan menus for its paired lunch. At other venues, confirm your needs when you book.

Plan your return transport

The wineries are separated by rural roads, and public transport cannot take you between estates. A guided tour or a designated driver is the easiest option if you plan to taste.

Consider the season

Terraces and vineyard picnics are at their best in Chile’s warmer months, roughly October through April. Winter visits can still be enjoyable, but June through August is cooler and wetter in central Chile, and some seasonal experiences do not run every day.

Ask about service charges and taxes

Published tasting prices may leave out Chilean VAT, tips or other charges. Booking platforms often show an all-in price, while direct winery quotes may list those charges separately. Check the final amount and the cancellation terms before you confirm.

Frequently asked questions

Which Casablanca Valley winery has the best restaurant?

Tanino at Casas del Bosque is the best all-round choice, with a full-service restaurant, vineyard views, estate wines and winery tours in one place. For a more premium meal, look at Casa Mirador or Kingston Family Vineyards.

Can you have lunch at Casas del Bosque without a wine tour?

Yes. The restaurants take reservations separately from the winery’s tours and tastings. Contact the restaurant to confirm availability, at least 48 hours ahead for Tanino and 24 hours for Botánico.

Does Casablanca Valley have Michelin-starred restaurants?

Do not confuse awards from wine publications or vineyard rankings with a Michelin star. None of the restaurants in this guide is listed here as Michelin-starred; check the current Michelin Guide if a star matters to you.

Are winery restaurants in Casablanca Valley expensive?

They span several price levels. À la carte restaurants give you more control over the bill, while premium paired lunches cost much more. Kingston, for example, charges US$115 per person plus VAT for its five-course lunch, and Casa Mirador’s tour with a nine-course lunch is CLP 165,000.

Is it better to have lunch before or after a wine tasting?

For many visitors, a late-morning tasting followed by lunch is the most comfortable plan. If your main booking is a multi-course food-and-wine pairing, the meal is the tasting, so you need little else beforehand.

Can you visit winery restaurants without a car?

Yes, with a guided tour or a booked driver. Buses reach Casablanca, but most winery restaurants are too far from town to walk.

Are Casablanca winery restaurants suitable for children?

Full-service restaurants usually suit families better than formal pairing menus, but policies differ, and Casa Mirador is for guests aged 18 and over. Confirm children’s admission, menus, seating and transport with the venue.

Is there a good vegetarian winery lunch?

Kingston offers vegetarian and vegan versions of its paired lunch. Botánico cooks with plenty of vegetables from its garden, but confirm its menu for specific diets.

Can I combine wine tasting and lunch on a day trip from Valparaíso?

Yes. Casablanca is about 40 km from Valparaíso, close enough for an easy winery outing; see Casablanca wine tours from the coast. A tasting and lunch at one estate, or two well-chosen winery stops, works with suitable transport.

How many wineries should I visit if lunch is the main priority?

Two wineries suits most visitors. If you book a long premium pairing, one winery can fill the day.

Planning a day around lunch

Casablanca Valley is at its best when you do not cram too much into one day. A morning tasting, a long lunch and time to walk the gardens or sit with the view make a good plan. For a classic restaurant, book Tanino. For a special-occasion meal, Kingston or Casa Mirador puts the food and wine at the center of the day. Macerado suits something more relaxed, especially if you like sparkling wine, and Bodegas RE is a good stop for a picnic or a tasting with local food.

Book the meal as carefully as the winery tour. Compare the tours that include a meal in Casablanca wine tours with lunch, see the best Casablanca Valley wineries, or weigh every option in which Casablanca Valley wine tour is right for you, and check your exact date, because restaurant days and menus change.
